AVOID travelling to Japan during these months 🙅🏻♀️ (and when to go instead)
Months to avoid and when to go to Japan instead:
❌ September (typhoon season so this may disrupt most of your outdoor plans)
✅ October
❌ November (peak autumn season where it can get super crowded because everyone wants to experience peak autumn foliage)
✅ October
❌ December (late December can be problematic due to Christmas and the New Year holidays where locals travel alot, leading to high demand, sold-out bookings, and increased prices for flights and accommodation)
✅ January/ February
❌ April (cherry blossom season is one of the most expensive and crowded period to travel to Japan. I personally thought that the cherry blossoms in Japan are overrated because you can basically experience the same if not better in many other parts of the world!)
✅ March
❌June (rainy season so this will disrupt your outdoor plans and it can get really messy)
✅ May
❌July (if you’re not a fan of heat and humidity, coming during this time will be your biggest nightmare)
✅ May
❌August (summer continues and this is when Japan has one of their biggest public holiday- Obon holiday where many local shops/ restaurants/ attractions will be closed and everything is expensive during this time)
✅ May
My personal favourite months in Japan are May and October as it’s not too crowded and generally I prefer warmer seasons with minimal pollen in the air 😅
Which month will you be travelling to Japan?✨

March and December are the most expensive btw so even if March is the perfect season, your wallet will have the biggest dent 💔

This is the best travel tip I’ve seen in regards to which months to travel, the temperature, and what days to avoid.

I’ve heard summers can be unbearable to walk outside 😅 If you had to choose one summer month, which would you go for?

We are coming during golden week, do you have recommendations on where to stay? We were thinking Izu area and just relax? Hoping we won't miss too much in that area.
